My visit with the T-34 and more!

[EA-6B1]

Alright, ladies and gents, I was blessed with the opportunity to meet up with a Marine SNA while I was on vacation in Florida last week. We met up and headed to NAS Pcola and went to the O'Club for lunch. Then we hit the flightline!! It was awesome! I got to strap on a T-34 and take a look around the cockpit. I also got up close with T-6s, -39s, -2s, Fat Albert, the Blue Angels, and saw some fleet F-18s. We then headed up to Whiting where I got to sit in a TH-57 helicopter.

It was a great experience, and one that I know I'm fortunate to have been able to do especially since I'm still a civilian (just completed PLC Jrs). I'll leave you with some motivating pictures that I snapped.

I tried attaching them again. They were there last night when I posted the thread. I dunno what happened.

You went to that big freaking Air Museum. They have alot of good stuff down there.

Are those all the picture or you have more?

Here's a few more...
That's the A-6 Intruder with it's radar up front.
The F-4 Phantom head on.
The S-3 Viking that landed on the USS Lincoln with President Bush.

Cool pix men. I guess the S-3 the president flew in was getting to the end of its life span.
You starting to make me feel like going back to Pensacola.

yeah the museum I work for is in line to get an S-3 and a P-3..the F-14 was already green lighted and the strike community is supposed to meet next week to decide which one to give us, but the Viking and Orion are still in the negotiation process.
